    Here is the nifty little utility version. Unfortunately, the utility version only comes in three engine types/trims (the 450cc diesel shown here, a 660cc gasser, and a 900cc gasser), and neither of them have a third pedal...

    This little hot hatch has the same gas engine as the yellow car, but with the added benefit of a turbocharger and a 5-speed manual instead of a 4-speed. The 660cc turbo is also available with an automatic transmission, which I did not test drive today. Major difference in performance...

    The 660cc turbo, along with all other performance variants, has full instrumentation with a tachometer unlike the lesser variants...

    The 660cc turbo attained triple-digit speeds very quickly!

    This is the supercharged version of the 660cc, which like most versions was available with an automatic transmission; I obviously chose the 5-speed stick, and it topped out 1 MPH slower than the turbo version...

    Top speed for the slushbox model surprised me, but it still wouldn't hit 90 MPH...

    The Luxe version of the Miramar has a nicer exterior, and a plusher interior with woodgrain trim, but it is really just the same car in terms of what's under the hood...

    You will also notice that the GTz has five speeds instead of four; I got it to 140 MPH!

    Then I promptly launched it up a hill at about 140 MPH, got it airborne, and came crashing back down in a spectacular fashion...
